Blizzard's Midnight API restricts addon access to your personal buffs and cooldowns during M+ and raid — the exact content where aura tracking matters most. The addons listed here work within these restrictions and cover what WeakAuras used to handle.

Talent Builds

Using this build

Herald of the Sun

Recommended entry-point build — Herald of the Sun is the stronger hero talent overall and the default choice for most content. Dawnlight burst healing during Avenging Wrath windows provides strong throughput across both M+ and raid.

Custom build

Record your own talent build alongside your addons — it's included when you share your setup. Get a talent string from the Wowhead talent calculator or export directly from the in-game talent tree (press N → share icon). Paste the URL or the raw string — both work.

Addons

Why no WeakAuras? Midnight's API blocks WeakAuras from reading your buffs and cooldowns. The addons here cover what it used to handle.

Meters & logs 1

Details! Damage Meter

Healing meters

345.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Per-spell healing breakdown — for Holy Paladin, the Beacon of Light contribution column is the key metric, which should account for 15–25% of your total healing as a passive mirror of your direct heals. Overheal on Word of Glory also shows whether you're spending Holy Power too early instead of holding for higher-priority targets.

Raid Frames 3

VuhDo

Click-casting

87.3M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 12 May 2026

Healer-focused healing frames with built-in click-casting — bind Holy Shock to left-click and Word of Glory to right-click so every GCD is a mouse click on the lowest-health frame without tab-targeting. Also shows Beacon of Light status on the current bearer's frame and flags Cleanse-able magic debuffs with a coloured border.

Grid2

Advanced Healing frames

42.1M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 18 Apr 2026

Compact, modular healing frames — pair with Clicked for mouseover heal bindings since Grid2 has no built-in click-casting. For Holy Paladin, can display Beacon of Light status, Sacred Shield presence, and Cleanse-able debuffs as coloured frame indicators on each frame.

Tracks: Healing frames · Beacon of Light · Debuff tracking · Clicked compatible

ElvUI

Advanced Unit frames

Tukui.org addon

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

For Holy Paladin specifically, VuhDo handles healing frames better with built-in Beacon of Light tracking, Dominos covers action bars, and Clicked handles click-casting for Grid2 users — all with less setup overhead. Only install if you want a fully unified UI aesthetic and are prepared for the configuration overhead.

Nameplates & awareness 1

Platynator

Enemy cast bars

9.5M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 19 May 2026

Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates — shows which enemy is casting something dangerous and when it will land, so you can queue Word of Glory on the target before the hit rather than after. Knowing what is incoming also helps you time Aura Mastery against the biggest hits instead of spending it reactively.

Cooldowns & tracking 2

OmniCD

Healer cooldowns

33.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — for Holy Paladin, primary use is knowing when personal defensives across the group have been spent so you can judge when Aura Mastery needs to land now rather than waiting. Also tracks Blessing of Sacrifice timing so your externals land on the player taking the most incoming pressure rather than whoever you happen to be targeting.

BetterCooldownManager

Personal cooldowns

938.2K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Mar 2026

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns on screen. For Holy Paladin, keeps Aura Mastery and Avenging Wrath (both 3-minute) prominent so you never miss the Aura Mastery window during the hardest incoming damage while focused on your healing frames.

Rotation helper 2

BasicComboPoints

Holy Power display

351.8K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 22 Apr 2026

Provides a large, repositionable Holy Power display with configurable colour that you can park next to your healing frames — the default UI shows Holy Power as small orbs that are easy to lose track of under pressure. At 3+ Holy Power Word of Glory becomes more efficient than holding; having the count immediately visible closes the decision delay.

MaxDps

Ability priority

5.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 Apr 2026

Highlights the next optimal ability based on your current cooldown and proc state — keeps Judgment on cooldown for Verdict of the Worthy, Holy Shock uptime high for Holy Power generation, and flags Infusion of Light procs to consume before they expire. Most useful while learning the rhythm of the spec or after a patch changes the proc consumption priority.

Mouse bindings

458.5K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

Only needed if you use Grid2 — bind Holy Shock, Word of Glory, and Beacon of Light swaps to mouse button and modifier combinations on any unit frame for mouseover click-casting. VuhDo has this built in, so skip it if you use VuhDo.

Bag consolidation

159.9M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 5 Mar 2026

Pawn

Upgrade arrows

125.6M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 Mar 2026

Adds an upgrade arrow to item tooltips based on your stat weights. For Holy Paladin, Intellect and Haste are primary — Haste reduces Holy Shock's cooldown and increases Infusion of Light proc frequency — without needing to sim every drop.
